Seven doors
Belle Vie offers a finite list of seven door profiles. Three Shaker variants in different proportions, one beaded Shaker, one traditional five-piece, one French-mitered, one slab. Each one has a reason.
The full menu, in the order it’s offered. Paint is sprayed in our Somersworth booth on every painted door, so the door, the face frame, and the end panel read as one object. Stain finishes are hand-rubbed in oil or sprayed in clear lacquer, depending on the wood and the room.
Lexington
A classic Shaker, mitered at the joint for a clean, square line. The Belle Vie default.
